Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person is asking about religious competitions, especially among some students where prizes are awarded. In our current time, competitions have become widespread in commercial establishments. Perhaps you could provide some guidance?
Answer:
Commercial competitions are a matter of concern, and I do not know about them. However, competitions in matters of good, such as memorizing the Qur'an and questions of knowledge, are a good thing because they encourage the pursuit of knowledge and righteous deeds. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
